Large N limit of SYM theories with 16 supercharges from superstrings on Dp-brane backgrounds

We investigate the holographic correspondence between (p+1)-dimensional (0=3, we do not have world-sheet supersymmetry, and the energies of bosonic and fermionic fluctuations do not match. By interpreting the superstring amplitudes as correlators of gauge theory operators with large R-charge J, we obtain gauge theory two-point functions including those of fermionic operators. Our approach yields results consistent with the previous supergravity analysis for the D0-branes, including the subleading part in J. Our prediction from holography is that the two-point functions for the supergravity modes are power-law behaved, even for the non-conformal (p<>3) SYM theories
